Mill Creek Central Railroad will hold its first spring Dispatch Operating Meet on May 10th and 11th. The signals will be dark (covered up) so if you'd like to participate, show up for a good time. Our first ever dispatch meet last year went over very well and everyone appeared to have a great time. If you are willing to try something new you should plan to attend. Remember to bring your FRS radios and extra batteries so that you can communicate with the Dispatcher!!! Those who are unwilling to operate using a dispatcher will not be allowed to operate on the railroad during this event.
If you'd like to review the documents for the Dispatch meet you can find them below. I have also attaching Charlie Hallman's notes, our Dispatcher for this event, and his suggestions to the operators that plan on running next weekend.
Also, if you haven't joined COALS you should try to do so before you come to the meet. Note that we will allow those who wish to only visit as an operator to do so up to twice per season. More information on membership and visitation can be found here: https://www.millcreekcentral.com/membership We hope to see you at the track soon.
